0:00.0	Have you ever wanted to have a candlelit family-style dinner with former president Donald Trump and his
0:07.6	adult sons? No? Maybe? Yes? Well today we got the news that the former president is hosting just
0:16.2	that a family-style candlelit dinner at Mar-a-Lago. That's happening later this year. And the point of
0:23.6	this candlelit meal is to raise funds to help pay the legal bills for the many, many criminal
0:29.2	co-defendants and witnesses in all the many, many legal cases against Trump. Now we do not know how much
0:36.8	a seat at the special dinner will cost as yet. Candles set a mood, though they are expensive.
0:44.3	We do know that Mr. Trump reportedly had lined a very similar event just this evening,
0:49.6	where tickets were $100,000 a pop. And while we do not know whether this one benefited from the warm

2:02.3	unsee the mental image of Rudy Giuliani's feet for whatever it matters neither can I.
2:09.2	But the my pillow slipper pitch on the heels of a criminal indictment is pretty wild even for
2:15.9	Rudy Giuliani. I mean, even for an infomercial, it seems desperate. And that is apparently
2:22.7	how much Mr. Giuliani needs the cash. Then there's Newsmax, a conservative news network that
2:28.4	frequently hosts Mr. Giuliani as a guest. Media Matter spotted that, despite calling itself a
2:35.8	News Network, Newsmax appears to be running a legal defense fund on Rudy Giuliani's behalf.
2:42.4	Over and over again, Newsmax hosts have been making nearly identical fundraising pitches on air
